Legislation Needed To Protect Residents From Possible Potash Issues

Residents in the Millstream area want their water and land protected if a potash mine opens in the area.

Resident Stephanie Coburn has been spearheading community meetings on the topic and she tells CHSJ News legislation is desperately needed in order to protect the water and land of residents.

She says residents are well aware of the issues currently facing Penobsquis and legislation would go a long way to alleviate those feasr.

She adds the community has written a contract dealing with water and land protection and it wants the mining company to honour it.

She has been told they are taking it under advisement.
